Abstract: 15,298. Bardon, L. June 26. Arc lamps.-The regulating - mechanism of a brake lamp, for continuous or alternating current at constant potential, is constructed as shown in Fig. 1. The carbon-holders, of which the upper 0 is the heavier, are hung by pulleys in loops of a cord l; this is attached at one end to the top-plate of the lamp, passes round three pulleys on fixed supports, and is attached at the other end to a regulating- lever d, pivoted at b. Two of the pulleys are shown at M, M<1>; the third is attached to a brake-wheel J. The lever d is bent to carry cores over two shunt coils, such as A, and is linked to a counterweighted lever Q. The wheel J is acted on by a brake-lever H, when this is not raised by the action of the coils on the regulating-lever d, and a contact-piece I linked to it. On starting the lamp, the cores hold up the brake H until the greater weight of the upper carbonholder places the carbons in contact ; they then allow the lever d to move so that the brake is applied and the lower carbon lowered, an arc being thus struck.
